principles of training

SPOV

specficity

progression

overload

variance

specificity

specific exercises and activities improve specific areas of fitness or muscle power

e.g. plyometric training for power

progression

the gradual increase in overload necessary to achieve higher levels of fitness through FID (frequency, intensity, duration)

overload

working the body harder than it is normally worked to prevent plateau

variance

making the training session and drills different to improve adherence

for development of muscular strength

inrease weight and frequency of training sessions

for development of muscular endurance

increase reps and sets and decrease rest times

for development of aerobic capacity

increase distance ran or swam
